soelim(1)soelim(1)Namesoelim - eliminate nroff source directives from nroff input
Syntaxsoelim [file...]
Description
The command reads the specified files or the standard input and per‐
forms the textual inclusion implied by the directives of the form
.so somefile
when they appear at the beginning of input lines. This is useful since
programs such as do not normally do this; it allows the placement of
individual tables in separate files to be run as a part of a large doc‐
ument.
Note that inclusion can be suppressed by using `´' instead of `.', that
is
´so /usr/lib/tmac.s
A sample usage of would be
soelim exum?.n | tbl | nroff -ms | col | lpr
Options
- File name corresponding to standard input.
Restrictions
The format of the source commands must involve no strangeness - exactly
one blank must precede and no blanks follow the file name.
